THE NATURAL GARDEN
The Natural Garden is a pesticide and chemical-free farming initiative.
The approach of the Natural Garden team is to focus on crops that are perennials and superfoods in addition to salad vegetables over the primary type of agriculture of rice and tapioca, which is popular in Chaiyaphum.
Students and parents work alongside our local farmers to plant and harvest our fruits and vegetables. Additional students have a dedicated student plot generously donated by the Meechai Pattana School.
Our organic farming practices also prioritise soil health and diversity, promoting the long-term sustainability of the land and reducing water pollution.
Currently, vegetables are sold weekly in Bangkok to restaurants, schools and individuals. Surplus vegetables are turned in batched, home made pickles for sale.
